If there is any good in me at all, it is God. Whatever is left, that is me.

Our pride likes to tell us that the good within us is because we are so great on our own accord. As we allow ourselves to increase, and God to decrease our egos inflate and we become convinced and deceived that we are actually the center of our own universe and we might even end up believing we are the center of everyone else's universe too.

span style="line-height: 1.22;">NASHVILLE, TN - If there is any good in me at all, it is God. Whatever is left, that is me.
When we accomplish good works, we are quick to take credit. When we fail, we are quick to place blame. We default to praising ourselves for all the good in our lives while we tend to take little to no responsibility for the bad in our lives. It's not a balanced equation. It's a false equation. It's deceptive. It's a trap to draw you in and build you up as the god of your life.
A Rosary is the perfect First Communion Gift
If there is any good in me at all, it is God. Whatever is left, that is me.The more time you take to grow and love God the better you will know Him and the more you will realize how much we fall short in our sinful nature. He is the source of all good in us. Nurture your relationship with Him so you can see Him and know Him more profoundly.
If there is any good in me at all, it is God. Whatever is left, that is me.Imagine yourself being completely emptied of all that is God. You are standing still in a quiet room, your feet firmly planted on the ground and all the good within you drains out from your feet and up to the Heavens. You are left with only what is you and nothing more of God. What does this mean in your unique life? What would be left? How does that make you feel?
If there is any good in me at all, it is God. Whatever is left, that is me.Who is your center? Tell me now, who is responsible for all the good in your life? What is left of you without God? How will you choose to live your life? Will you choose to glorify yourself and hide the goodness of the Lord? Or will you make yourself small, so that God can shine?
If there is any good in me at all, it is God. Whatever is left, that is me.
